Dancing Under the Gallows: Recollections of a Holocaust Survivor

Thesis advisor: Susan Michalczyk / This 2005-2006 Senior Honors Thesis is the story of Holocaust survivor Edgar Krasa and his experience in the Nazi concentration camps. As a human, I felt it was my duty to share his remarkable account with the world. As a writer, I have sought to leave him with something tangible, a small tribute to the suffering he endured. I have attempted to maintain a delicate balance between research and storytelling, as Mr. Krasa's story exists in the context of the theoretical framework I have studied. This work is not meant to speak only of gas chambers, death marches, bitter cold, and death. Rather, it stands as a testament to human loyalty, hope, determination, and unwavering belief in life. It is meant to expose the depths and resilience of the human soul. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2006. / Submitted to: Boston College.
